I would like to ask the community about advanced linked records & extracting information for each specific record. Data Overview Table 1 ↓ I have a Zapier set up that creates a record each day into a table using a European date field type. Then I have created a linked field to Table 2 & 3. i.e. 16/8/2022 17/8/2022 18/8/2022 Table 2 This is a shared table synced to another base. This table includes projects, staff members & invoice amount. It’s based on the same European date field. This table has a linked field with Table 1. Table 3 This is a shared table synced to another base separate from Table 1 or 2. This table includes projects, raw materials & quantity used. It’s based on the same European date field. This table has a linked field with Table 1. I have set up an automation in Table 2 & 3 that when a record enters a view, it automatically adds the date to the linked field (Table 1). Issue As Table 1 is the main source of information, I want to be able to access

I’m looking for a solution that allows us to view a large number of records in the same was as groups in views work, but a lot larger in height. Something like this, assuming that “procedure” and “results” have lot of information: Group A Procedure A.1 Result A.1 Procedure A.2 Result A.2 Group B Procedure B.1 Result B.1 Procedure B.2 Result B.2 I looked into Page Designer, but it only shows one record at a time. Any ideas?

Hey All, I have a question about filters. Basically, I have records that have start and end time fields. To keep things neat and tidy, I have the main view set to only show records with a start time of “On or After Today.” This works until we hit 8PM ET (12AM GMT), when Airtable decides that, internally, it is the next day because it is on GMT time. This is an issue because evening events disappear from view with this filter. Is there a way to set up a filter so that these records will remain until it is the next day in terms of ET instead of GMT? Thank you!

I want to avoid replicate the same base filter 10X times on the same view I could not find a combination for that. Why is it limited ?

I have a table with all our deals that contains the following information Total amount of deal Start date End date I would like to split this up to a monthly revenue per deal for invoicing and reporting. Most of these deals have a duration of 1 year, but sometimes less. So for example, one row might look like this: 6000 1 January 2022 31 December 2022 I would then like to be able to build a report that has for columns (like a pivot table) for all the months from January to December and then an amount of 500 for this deal. Something like this is fairly easy in Excel, but I’m not quite sure how to build this in Airtable.

Hello. I’m trying to develop a tool to help obese teenagers track the calories they eat, at a health centre near me. I’ve got the first part right, but I’m struggling with the last part. I created a table with all the foods. Then I create a table for each new day, where they add what they eat each day. In table 3, I would like to create a new line for each day, adding all the calories consumed that day. I can’t manage to create a new line for each table, nor to add the total for the day automatically. Can you help me? Thank you very much

Banging my head on the table here - I cannot seem to figure how to link tables that I have imported from another database, having converted them to Excel. I have something basically like this: Table1 Table1_Key | Table1_Field1 | Table1_Field2... Table_2 Table2_Key | Table1_Key | Table2_Field1 | Table2_Field2... Data imports fine, but when I create the link, it just doesn’t work. I’m sure I’m overthinking something here, I just cannot seem to figure what it is. Matt

I have a student assigned to a homeroom in the column “current homeroom”. I am adding a checkbox “Withdrawn”. I would like to do this: IF the student is withdrawn THEN move the value from “current homeroom” to “homeroom 22-23”. The result being: cell in column current homeroom: empty, cell in homeroom 22-23: previous homeroom teacher. How can I do this ? Do I need to use the remarkable integromat or can I do it without external tools just with formula?

I’d like to insert an image in my base guide. I think I’m using the proper Markdown syntax, but it’s simply not working. I get the impression from this page that this should be possible. It says You can also use Markdown within the base guide to add headers, links, emojis and images. It works here in the Community. Here’s the exact Markdown I’m using, followed by the result here. Can I get the same result in the Base Guide? 

Hi Does anybody know a formula to calculate an address from a google maps link?

I’m having some trouble migrating from FileMaker Pro to Airtable… I am able to export and import 99% of my data/contacts with out issue – mapping, organizing, etc. The only issue I’m running into is having the multiple mailing lists these contacts are attached to map to a single row. For example: John Doe (on FMP) is on mailing lists A, B, and C. When I import to Airtable, it lists John Doe as being on mailing list A, but then lists an “unnamed record” as being on list B, and another one on list C. It ends up being that all of the proper contacts are followed by unnamed rows with the remainder of their lists attached. I hope this is making sense… Is there an automation or formula I can set up to merge these into the above (correct) record? Or any tips for making my FMP output group these together, instead of having them as separate records?

I have a list of records in grid view and gallery view - gallery view is much more preferred for my use. However, when I manually rearrange the columns in grid view, they don’t automatically update the order for the gallery view as well. Is this possible to do? It seems like there may be a simple way to do this, but I’m not really sure.
